Trump's Ghostwriter Speaks Out on President's Psyche

Tony Schwartz

Few are as close to understanding the psyche of Donald Trump as Tony Schwartz, co-author, along with Trump, of the bestseller, "The Art of the Deal."Schwartz told CNN's Anderson Cooper yesterday that he does not expect Trump to sit around, waiting to be impeached:

"I surely believe that at some point over the next period of time he’s going to have to figure out a way to resign and the reason he’s going to do that as opposed to go through what could be an impeachment process, or a continuing humiliation, is that he wants to figure out a way — as he’s done all his career — to turn a loss into a victory.

And so he will declare victory when he leaves."

Schwartz also explained that Trump's facility to criticize and even humiliate opponents is based on Trump's own personal feelings of inadequacy.
